“If some sort of a truce happens or was successful, I think what we will see is a bit more of reconstruction of forces, repairing of some of the armoured vehicles and also rearming them to be much more effective in the next round,” Ashour told Al Jazeera.
The visit by Gantz, who is expected to meet senior US administration officials, comes as US Vice President Harris called for an “immediate” pause in the fighting.
“At a time when Palestinians are being slaughtered by a Germany-backed army at an unprecedented rate, and at a time of rising totalitarianism in German institutions, it is more important now than ever that good people reject anti-Palestinian racism assertively and publicly, and boycott the organisations that spread or give cover to that racism,” El-Kurd told Al Jazeera.
Representatives from Aish Hatorah synagogue in Toronto, Canada, insult a pro-Palestine man who registered for a #kellerwilliamsrealty seminar where stolen Palestinian land in illegal settlements in occupied West Bank is listed for sale, all with the help of Toronto police despite the sales being illegal under Canadian and international law.
IDF: Early this morning, during the entry of humanitarian aid trucks into the northern #Gaza Strip, Gazan residents surrounded the trucks, and looted the supplies being delivered
During the incident, dozens of Gazans were injured as a result of pushing and trampling.
Norway's pension fund divests $500M from Israeli bonds because of genocide!
Divest!
This is real change! And this hurts. This is more evidence of the direction of travel and we need to keep the pressure up now more than ever. CHANGE IS COMING!
I watched the video of the Active Duty Serviceman, Aaron Bushnell, who self-immolated in front of the Israeli Embassy. The man was blurred/censored in the video I saw as soon as he lit himself on fire but you can see the flames obviously and the audio is clear.
I will not share the video here. You can find it yourself if you wish. But I will share his final words. Very few people in history have done this (most often buddhists, I wonder if he was buddhist) extreme act of self-sacrifice for a cause. Bushnell is the second I know of to attempt this about the current #IsraelGaza war. The first, I believe, to perish. Here are his words from the video:
"I am an active duty member of the United States Air Force and I will no longer be complicit in genocide. I am about to engage in an extreme act of protest but compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers, it's not extreme at all. This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal.”
— He places his camera/tripod on the ground pointing towards the embassy fence, puts on his uniform cap, douses himself in fuel, takes a deep breath, says "Free Palestine”, and lights himself on fire. —
He screams Free Palestine a couple more times.
RIP sir.
I won't describe how the rest unfolds, his act should stand alone.
Ireland’s senate unanimously voted to impose sanctions against Israel, actively prevent the passage of US weapons through Irish airspace to Israel, and advocate for an international arms embargo on Israel.
All countries should follow the example of Ireland! #Ireland
WEEK 21: A family day out to the border crossing to prevent aid getting into Gaza, followed by an inflatable slide for the kids to play on while you celebrate your success. #IsraelApartheid#SaveGaza
"I am personally proud of the ruins of Gaza, and that every baby, even 80 years from now, will tell their grandchildren what the Jews did".
Stated May Golan, the Israeli Minister for Equality and Advancement of Women, during her speech in the Knesset, advocating for the expulsion of a member who showed compassion with Palestinians and opposed the Israeli war in Gaza.
"Palestine's legal team at the ICJ: Israel annexed East Jerusalem and the West Bank and claimed sovereignty over these areas, referring to them by biblical names. It also established hundreds of settlements with over 700,000 Israeli settlers."
Thanks to @msquebanh for the idea and example. Here is the rough outline of #gaza (perimeter 110km and area 636sqkm) superimposed on #VancouverIsland, facing the City of #Vancouver#yvr. It runs from Lantzville (North #Nanaimo) to Chemainus. Imagine the people of Vancouver ‘facing' that horror, that deseruction, that genocide, within sight across the Salish Sea.
"Palestinians across the West Bank describe how Israeli settlers, with military backing, are intensifying their takeover of land for illegal construction."
